Welcome to the new Mind Equals Blown!

For the past 10 months, our staff has been hard at work on a long overdue, well deserved redesign of Mind Equals Blown. MEB has been around since 2008, and it’s been an amazing ride, but we’re excited to launch into a new era with a site that our readers deserve.

We are proud to announce that the time to relaunch with our new redesign is finally here. With the new design, we will be able to showcase our incredible photographers and writers. This new flow really highlights all of the amazing content that our team has worked so hard to develop.

We are barely into 2016 and already we have experienced tremendous growth across MEB. On April 1st, MEB was on the front page of Reddit and we had 24,000 people visit MEB in a few hours. Our Podcast led by Nick Niedzielski and Tim Dodderidge is gaining traction and gathering a loyal following. Did I mention our team is growing faster than ever?

We are so excited to share this news with you guys, and are looking forward to MEB’s next big phase. While the site looks new and shiny, we will be fixing some unavoidable bugs in the coming days. If you have any feedback on the design, we want to hear it! Drop us a line at Christina@mindequalsblown.net

Christina Troitino is MEB's Head of Strategy and resident hockey mom. Just like any good suburbanite would, she plunged into alternative music around age 12, scouring the internet for new bands and eventually becoming a head moderator at Ultimate-Guitar, the leading early-2000's music message board.
Christina has an encyclopedic knowledge of 70's and 80's punk and hardcore music. Her tastes also include equally-great but less-angsty picks, ranging from Nick Drake to Björk. All in all, she loves music and the power that the internet provides to its aficionados which is why she's so proud to be with the MEB family.
When Christina is not building internet or listening to music, she's cooking. She started making cocktails for bands she interviewed, and decided to make a whole sister site of it. The name even fuses her love of food and music and honors Patti Smith: Pâté Smith. Check it out sometime: http://www.patesmith.co/
